Standard (EADGBE)

Gentlemen, where have we been?

 Can't find the hole where we got in

 We ain't had no letters since spring

 Gentlemen, where have we been?

Ain't going nowhere now

 Let this bottle make its rounds

 And let this liquor settle down

 We ain't going nowhere now

Chorus

Darker than ever in the mine

Shine a light, shine a light

Holler back now, make some noise

 I do believe they've trapped us boys

Fill the dirt back on the grave

 Ain't nothing good here being raised

 Look at the filthy mess we've made

 Fill the dirt back on the grave

We cut the fruit, we took the tree

 We chiseled all the branches free

 We took more than we'd ever need

 We cut the fruit, we took the tree

Chorus

Darker than ever in the mine

Shine a light, shine a light

Holler back now, make some noise

 I do believe they've trapped us boys

Can't have no one not toe the line

 'Round here, it's always 'round midnight

 Can't have no brothers left behind

 Can't have no one not toe the line

That ain't the cavalry we heard

 It's the rain that's crashing on the earth

 Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt

 And, no, that ain't the cavalry we heard

Chorus

Darker than ever in the mine

Shine a light, shine a light

Holler back now, make some noise

 I do believe they've trapped us boys
